Aloha all. I am a VietNam vet and proud of it. I served with the best men I could ever hope to meet for 5 years. We could have done anything and I had the utmost confidence none were better. After years of following our young men and women in uniform, in combat, trying to help Afghanistan and Iraq become a free country and having to put up - again - with weak willed and cowardly softbellied politicians while trying to accomplish their mission and stay alive, I am humbled by their professionalism and military skills. In retrospect, I was never that good a soldier as compared to what I see/read/hear about our sons and daughters in uniform today. I thank God for all of them and personally thank my son every chance I get for his service to our country.
